Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;

Conspiring with him how to load and bless

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
![Page 11: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
![Page 12: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;

To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
![Page 14: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,

And still more, later flowers for the bees,

Until they think warm days will never cease,

For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?

Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find

Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
![Page 21: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind
![Page 22: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Or on a half-reap’d furrow sound asleep,
![Page 23: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
![Page 24: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Spares the next swath and all its twinèd flowers:
![Page 25: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
![Page 26: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
![Page 27: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Or by a cyder-press, with patient look,
![Page 28: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours.
![Page 29: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
![Page 30: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,—
![Page 31: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
While barrèd clouds bloom the soft-dying day
![Page 32: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
![Page 33: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
![Page 34: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Among the river-sallows, borne aloft
![Page 35: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;sinking
![Page 36: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
![Page 37: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
![Page 38: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The redbreast whistles from a garden-croft;
![Page 39: Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness-John Keats' Ode to Autumn](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062220/557cfca7d8b42a57118b4f66/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.
